ASL Topic-Importance of Media

Whether we turn to the declarations of the past or to the professions of present, the conduct of nation has always required the nurturance of Media. I would like to ask if national movements and campaigns like Make In India, Save & educate girl child & Cleanliness campaigns have gained momentum without mobilisation of Public opinions? As a watchdog, shielding democratic ideals, media has emerged as a powerful political force to reckon with for condemning dictatorial tendencies of the govt. holding it accountable and stirring it from its languor to explain their decision and actions. I really wonder to find my worthy opponents accusing media of being irresponsible and wayward. To my fellow mates who nurture this belief, I would like to remind how media played a significant role in overthrowing the dictatorial regime of Mrs. Indira Gandhi after emergency? Over the past few decades media has evolved as a great source to propagate views polices, &future plans of ruling government, oppositions other parties of the nation. I would like to ask if Mr. Narender Modi could assume dignified office of PM had he not tapped the doors of media to promote policies and manifesto of his party. I think no. So the above mentioned facts are sufficient to prove that media is very important.

Qu. Do you think that media attracts attention unnecessarily?Ans. I don’t think that media attracts attention unnecessarily but I would like to add that if people are attracted towards media it is their own interest.
